Luck Review

A typical Bollywoodish example of how to screw up an interesting plot. The plot – An illegal 'Survivor Series' Game, where you can bet your stakes on who could win".

The movie revolves around a game which is designed as such that only those with good luck can survive. Most of the participants are 'majboor' n hav no option but to play this game, all typical sub-plots.

Acting-
Raw. Dialogue delivery was as if they didn't hav much time to rehearse them. Only Ravi Kisen lives up to his own dismal standard.

Script: Be-kaar. They spend half of the movie in only introducing the movie, something they could do in 20 minutes.

Dialogues: Danny & Sanju Baba mention LUCK in every sentence. Too many repetitive and clichéd dialogues.

Screenplay: Okay, something ur used to seeing in Bollywood by now. But I found it funny that 8/10 times Sanju Baba's entry into the scene is via a helicopter, and he gets-off and gives a speech on Luck.

Imraan: College boy role still suits him. But he needs a better script and role to work on.

Shruti: Fine she luks hot, but she really needs to hone those acting skills. I'm sure with a better script she can.

Sanju Baba,Mithun & Danny: Lack the energy they can generate. Sanju Baba luks more like a Professor of Luck-O-Logy than a gangster. Really not lived up to the role.

So overall I'll give them 1 star for the effort. They could have cut short the dialogues, typical sub-plots(e.g Mithun and Imraan's personal story), shown more of the adventure games and a livelier screenplay and acting. Worth ditching.
